Abstract: Instructions for preparing papers
for the 11th NBCBME are presented. Publishers' requirements and the Conference
series' traditions were used to elaborate the instructions. They are intended to
guide the authors in preparing camera-ready hardcopy and electronic form of
their papers. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in rejection of a
paper.
Paper size
Use A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper. Leave 25 mm
margins at the top and bottom, 20 mm on the left and 15 mm on the right side.
The maximum document size is two pages.
LAYOUT
The text should be typed single-spaced. Use
Times Roman typeface throughout the paper.
Centre the title (14 point bold), author's
names, affiliations and addresses (12 point regular) spanning the entire page.
Leave one blank line after the title and the names and affiliations.
Provide abstract of the paper (10 point
bold) no longer than 15 lines.
Type the text of the paper (10 point
regular) in two columns 85 mm wide with a space of 5 mm between the columns.
Each column should be left and right justified. Indent paragraphs by 5 mm.
Include an introduction, methods, results,
and conclusion, as separate sections. Use only one level of headings. Capitalise
section headings and leave one blank line before and after each heading.
Figures and tables
Insert figures and tables in the text,
spanning both columns if necessary. Provide numbering and captions. Place
captions above the tables and below the figures. Leave one blank line before,
and one after, the captions. Do not indent the captions. Do not use characters
smaller than 8 point in figures.
Point sizes to be used in various parts of
the paper are summarised in Table 1.
